Straightforward answers to help you decide if this service makes sense
for your situation.
About the Service
We're a document preparation service. You answer questions about
your situation, and we complete the official divorce forms
required by your state. We format everything correctly and
provide guidance on how to file. We don't provide legal advice —
we handle the paperwork.
Yes. Every state allows you to represent yourself in court
(called "pro se" representation). Document preparation services
like ours are completely legal. We don't practice law — we help
you complete paperwork based on the information you provide.
For straightforward, uncontested divorces, no. Our service is
designed for people who want to handle things themselves. If
your situation involves contested custody, complex assets, or
disagreements you can't resolve, consulting a lawyer may be
wise. We'll be upfront if we think your case needs professional
legal help.
Process & Timeline
We prepare your documents within 2-3 business days. After
filing, the timeline depends on your state — most have a waiting
period (30-90 days) plus court processing time. Total time from
start to final decree is typically 3-6 months for uncontested
cases.
Our process can work even when communication is difficult. If
your spouse is unresponsive, there are legal procedures for
that. During intake, we'll assess your situation and explain
your options. If it's truly contested, we'll tell you honestly.
Pricing & Payment
Everything document-related: guided intake, completion of all
required divorce forms for your state, proper formatting, filing
instructions, and support. The only additional cost is your
court filing fee (typically $200-$400, paid directly to the
court).
Lawyers charge hourly ($250-500/hr) because they provide
individualized legal counsel. We've streamlined the document
preparation process — which is largely procedural. For
uncontested divorces, this is often all you need.
Privacy & Security
Yes. All information is encrypted and stored securely. We never
share your data with third parties. Your personal details are
protected with bank-level security, and we take confidentiality
seriously.
